Flight
NYC area has three airports: LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark. LaGuardia (LGA) is definitely easiest for domestic flights, but if you're coming from further away, you might find better flights into JFK. For instance, it will take you ~30 min to get into Manhattan from LGA, but closer to an hour from JFK. We suggest avoiding Newark (in New Jersey) because it's quite far and will be more expensive to get into the city. Your best bet is taking a cab directly from the airport to your hotel!
